I've been collecting unusual objects for quite a while, and several years ago I started posting them on this site as puzzles for
visitors to figure out what they are. Most of the items are mine but a few belong to others, if you aren't interested in tools there are plenty of other type objects that have also been posted.

For first time visitors I recommend
this archive
for a wide variety of some of my best pieces.

Harley's right on the Claymore detonator- haven't seen one in twenty years or more, but it's something you don't forget. Not sure on the in-between items, but I believe the last one to be a high-end saw set. One that would be used by a very sophisticated saw-sharpener.
